We constantly have people’s expectations weighing down on us, whether that be from our family, colleagues, bosses, friends, etc. Join us as we discuss how to deal with these expectations if they become too burdensome or if you don’t even want to conform to those expectations.

Join us and Asia Fee, a chemist, founder of Alchemist Asia, social media & content creator lead, and former Colorguard performer and instructor. With her considerable and varying background, Asia shares her story from starting Colorguard in middle school to being a small business owner. We first talk about the lessons she learned on the field and her favorite routine. She recounted her introduction to chemistry in high school and how that brought her to conferences around the country talking with experts and renowned researchers. In the midst of that, Asia found her love for making her own makeup, and how she is making her own path in the beauty industry.
